If you are going to wear a rose, why not make it a big one? An oversized rose fascinator is pure romance and confidence, and it is one of the most photographed looks at Australian race days.
Our handmade Camela Mixy Women Head Piece features a large sculpted red mesh rose accented with small yellow and white blooms and sweeping black quills. Here is how to wear it.
- Design: oversized mesh rose with small blooms and quills
- Colours: red with yellow, white and black accents
- Best for: Melbourne Cup, Stakes Day, themed events, birthdays
- Handmade in Queensland by Nancy Niepess Fashion
Why Go Oversized?
Statement headwear has been a defining trend at spring racing carnivals for years. A larger piece frames the face, looks fantastic in photos and gives you an instant focal point. Mesh keeps the rose light despite its size.
The yellow and white blooms add a cheerful contrast, and the black quills add height and a graphic edge.

How to Style the Camela Mixy
Red and white
A white or cream dress makes the red rose sing. Choose nude or red heels.
Black and red
A sleek black dress picks up the black quills for a dramatic, polished look.
Stakes Day colour
Try a yellow dress to echo the small blooms for a bright, joyful outfit.
Milestone birthdays and themed events
A big rose is a celebratory choice for a 40th, 50th or flamenco themed party.
What to Wear With a Large Red Fascinator
